Kurgan's Meatgrinder (UP @108.178.55.189:29070) - Page 3

*Kurgan* · 01-28-2004, 10:54 PM

Heh, I wish! I'm afraid the next upgrade is going to be a selfish video card update badly needed.

But maybe someday... ; )

And I feel your pain, believe me I want to play again as much as you guys! I called the repair shop and they told me "next week we'll get to it probably."

Crow_Nest · 01-29-2004, 07:13 AM

This sux, jk3files has some unknown mod that i cant download anywhere! I couldnt find chop shop, meatgrinder is down. And now theres no other servers to join!!!

I havent been playing JA for almost a week now.

*Kurgan* · 02-02-2004, 04:58 PM

Take heart young warrior...

Word has it that my computer will "probably be done by the end of the week."

Of course I might have to rush back home if my grandma's condition worsens (if the cancer has spread), so it's still up in the air if the server will be back up by the weekend or not.

*Kurgan* · 02-06-2004, 01:38 AM

As you know the server is back (2 ghz instead of 1!), and has been since yesterday. I'm trying to keep it up fulltime, but you never now.

Right now I'm stuck inside and it's snowy outside. No word yet on my grandma's condition changing, so I'm here for awhile, so have fun!

Crow_Nest · 02-08-2004, 05:22 AM

Eh, kurgan. Can you give a different download site for the 2 bot files? I think theres something wrong with the lucas files link.

*Kurgan* · 02-08-2004, 09:29 PM

Visac is working on those he says, if they're not working (honestly I haven't checked them in awhile).

The files aren't too big though and you can grab them off my server by connecting.

Anyway, here's the DDS (Darth Dude Studios, creators of IBots, Rerouted and other cool projects) site, which has mirrors:

Crow_Nest · 02-13-2004, 05:30 AM

Kurg it looks like your server is down again.

*Lathain Valtiel* · 02-15-2004, 04:16 AM

Actually Kurgan.. A video card isn't that selfish. If I'm not mistaken your computer needs to load the textures and so on (Especially when playing), and if not enough video memory is present it uses system mem which slows it all down drastically.

*Kurgan* · 02-16-2004, 01:59 PM

That's true, but if (and only if) I'm joining the game on the same computer as the server (which I admit I do occasionaly, since I have only the one computer capable of playing JA!).

If I'm just running the server in the background I don't need a good video card! But you knew that.. ; )

*Kurgan* · 02-16-2004, 04:49 PM

This just in, my connection is working again! No need for any crappy MSN software either.

The new IP should be 65.103.61.98:29070, however the server isn't up at the moment.

Hopefully tonight I can set it up and get it running for a few hours.

Likely I'll be leaving town Wed night or later on the weekend for a few days so enjoy it while you can!

Crow_Nest · 02-17-2004, 05:13 AM

Oh so its the IP that changed, well i'll wait till tonight hopefully its up by then.

**SkinWalker** · 02-17-2004, 06:19 AM

I looked .... and looked... but found no Kurgan's Meatgrinder...

So I loaded up my alter ego and played as LadySkin instead on another server..... They think they're dueling a chick, so they let their egos get in their way... gives me an edge.

Crow_Nest · 02-17-2004, 10:53 AM

Doh, it was up at first, now its down again.

*Kurgan* · 02-17-2004, 10:50 PM

It's been up for most of the day now, I just forgot to update the forum post.

Sorry about all the up's and down's but that's how things have been going this month. ; p

It's up right now btw (6:15 pm CST).

Update: Back up again 8am!

Crow_Nest · 02-18-2004, 08:25 AM

Doh sometimes i have to time to play on ur server cause i have to stay back in school (especially mondays and weds)

*Lathain Valtiel* · 02-19-2004, 07:01 AM

Your patrons are lucky my controller is busted and I can't play...

*Kurgan* · 02-21-2004, 02:41 AM

Ok, well once again the server is back with a new IP: 65.103.61.98:29070!

Blame MSN, but anyway, have fun.

Crow_Nest · 02-21-2004, 05:27 AM

Ah good its back now.

*Kurgan* · 02-23-2004, 04:33 AM

Server is up (11:50pm CST Sunday) again!

*Kurgan* · 02-26-2004, 06:19 PM

Server back up Thursday 1:50 pm CST!

*Kurgan* · 03-02-2004, 08:03 PM

Server is up as of 3:40 pm CST and hopefully will run a bit smoother than before.

I've taken down Destroyer for awhile, but I may bring it back up soon (wink).

Crow_Nest · 03-05-2004, 11:07 AM

Hey kurg, whats that "z_team1.pk3" mod? Where can i get it?

*Kurgan* · 03-05-2004, 09:44 PM

I see you got the file. It's a simple mod (1.2 kb) that re-enables the other ten classes on Destroyer2 (just like the original Destroyer).

It's pointless for combat, but I like it because you get a little more variety in death screams/taunts and (if you're really bored) you can duel in the Imp hanger.

If you want it, just connect to my server and you should grab it.

Already got it from ur server, took me 1 secs to download it

*Kurgan* · 03-18-2004, 07:36 PM

Well, it's that time again folks... NEW IP TIME!

65.103.61.98:29070

No wonder so few people were in my server last night (and the fact that it was St. Patrick's Day!). ; )

Good to hear that the server is up online again

I wasnt around for the past 2 days, i had a St. John uniform group camp.

Woo! Thanks to www.JediServers.com, we now have a KICK BUTT server up 24/7!

Click on those JS banners on my site to support our benevolent hosts. ; )

(New IP is in my sig and on http://strategy.jediknight.net/jka/server_status.shtml)!

*Kurgan* · 06-15-2004, 08:06 PM

Sorry, but due to Jediservers.com closing, the server will go down (and the IP in my sig will no longer be valid) by June 16th.

Again apologies, it was a ton of fun hosting and I am glad for all the fun games and stuff we had over the past few months.

If I can find a good host to replace this one after June 21st when I get back from the wedding I'll see what I can do.

Maybe I can setup a paypall account or something.. ; )

I can always run the DSL server again, but you guys know how slow and flakey that one was...

Crow_Nest · 06-15-2004, 10:38 PM

Hey Kurgan did you recive that PM i sent you sometime ago? There seems to be some problem with your server, but other players are not affected.

*Kurgan* · 06-16-2004, 05:37 AM

No I don't think I got it, send again please.

Crow_Nest · 06-16-2004, 09:36 AM

Ok sent it again, you should have recieved it by the time you read this

**SkinWalker** · 06-16-2004, 11:09 AM

I noticed the same problem the other day... I kept getting killed... none of the other players seemed to be as affected.

*Kurgan* · 06-16-2004, 04:07 PM

Ok Crow, you're the only person to report this, that your controls stop working properly on Siege Hoth.

I have no idea what could cause that or how to fix it. Sorry. Try the technical forum I guess.

I don't have any such problem when joining my own server (and it's not hosted from my pc so my experience should be the same as the average player joining).

Crow_Nest · 06-16-2004, 10:54 PM

Never mind, its working now dunno how it suddenly fixed by itself. Maybe its the microsoft updates

Last night my mouse freezed for a few seconds then back to normal again, it was the destroyer map, but its properly just the lag.

*Kurgan* · 06-17-2004, 01:18 AM

You still have a little time to play if you want, go for it, you're invited!

*Kurgan* · 08-10-2004, 12:31 AM

Well, an update (finally) I have scrapped together some cash that could be set aside to use for a server.

I have been debating setting up a paypal account for donations for a server, but it would have to have a disclaimer (I don't want people to think that by donating they can dictate how the server is run... the money would be used as I saw fit to keep the server going, thus it would truly be a "donation" and not a bribe!).

Likewise, I'm also leary about using paypal after what I've read from some disgruntled customers (there's a class action suite pending from some customers who didn't like their security for example). Also I don't have a credit card (don't use them).

A free server would sure by nice, but that means I have to generate a lot of hits for my strategy page, and that means I have to update it a lot, and lately with my job I just haven't had the kind of time that demands for regular updates. So, the pay model is probably going to have to be used.

I haven't been running the DSL server due to needing the bandwidth for other things. Anyway, next weekend I'll probably be shopping around for a good server to run Siege again 24/7.

And RazorAce, if you're reading this, please, please, PLEASE release a linux server compatible OJP basic (withOUT the enhanced saber stuff)! I really need those auto-balanced teams and Siege exploit fixes (those are the top two complaints I got when my server was running before, and since I can't be there 24/7 to monitor those things I MUST have an automated way to handle them!).

razorace · 08-10-2004, 10:52 PM

Well, there's suppose to be a dude working on it but I haven't heard from him in a while. And my other man is down for the count with a fried harddrive.

As for me, I don't even HAVE Linux. I might be able to compile it on the school computers in a few weeks but for now I'm on vacation.

I'm sorry I can't get it out faster.

*Kurgan* · 08-28-2004, 06:48 PM

Okay man, you do what you can.

I did my part, I plugged you on the main JK.net page in the news, and I've been posting encouragement on the forums.

I hope somebody can help! Even if they just port the existing Basic code you've got to linux and then disappear forever (well hopefully that doesn't happen) at least then we'd have something workable that every server host could benefit from!

You can download Linux for free (if you have the patience, it's like 2 cd's worth for RedHat off the 'net) legally, and if you're using Win98SE for example you can have multi-boot so use several operating systems and select the one you want at startup (to have say, XP or 2k, 98SE and Redhat Linux). Anyway...

Have a great vacation!

*Kurgan* · 12-30-2004, 02:19 AM

Wow, hard to believe it's been 6 whole months since my server was last up... but guess what?

Razorace's OJP Basic is apparently fixed and can be used again for hosting!

So this means I can bring back the server, once I pick a host that doesn't require a credit card (I'm kinda broke at the moment, but I should save up some money before too long for funding).

Could Meatgrinder be returning soon? I think I can confidently say the answer is yes. How soon? We'll see... ; )

Crow_Nest · 12-30-2004, 02:28 AM

Thats great to hear the Meatgrinder returning.

And i've havent played JA for a few months now, i'll be able to play again once meatgrinder is up and running.
